Breast Implant Shape

Main navigation 5th BA level

Manufactures have created an expansive choice of breast implant sizes, projections, and shapes. The option of round versus anatomical teardrop shaped breast implant permits custom tailoring the choice implant to adapt to your unique breast and body to produce a desirable and pleasing breast augmentation. Dr. Chen Lee will evaluate your breast shape, skin quality, and overall body type to assist you in your decision to choose a round versus an anatomical implant for your breast augmentation in Montreal.

Round shaped breast implants give better upper breast fullness and cleavage than equally sized anatomical shaped breast implants. Subpectoral placement of the breast implant can further accentuate this upper breast effect. Round breast implants are ideal for women with slightly sagging breasts. Descent of the nipple and breast tissue to the lower pole of the breast gives rise to sagging. With breast volume displaced to the bottom of the sagging breast, the bust line becomes flat and the breasts lose projection and cleavage. Selective use of the round shaped implant can help to compensate for the upper pole deficiency found in a sagging breast. The round breast implant is not recommended for women who have a thin soft tissue envelope of the breast.

In contrast, anatomical breast implants are oval or pear-shaped. These breast implants are designed to replicate the natural curves of a normal breast. The use of the anatomical shaped implant in cosmetic breast augmentation results in a very natural breast shape. This is especially effective for large volume breast augmentation. Anatomical shaped implants can be effectively used in patients with both thin and robust soft tissue envelopes. Anatomical shaped breast implants are available only as cohesive silicone gel filled prostheses with textured surfaces. These breast implants will often require a longer incision for placement, thus leaving a longer scar. More importantly, anatomical shaped implants sometimes rotate in the breast pocket leading to visible deformity. The rough textured surface of these implants reduces this risk.

He guided me in the choice of prosthesis and the size to make sure that they were still proportionated to my size. I did not hesitate to make an appointment a few days later to plan surgery.(translated from french)

One of the reasons why I chose this surgeon was that he does all the work himself, he does not delegate to nurses. He thus ensures personally that all his customers are satisfied at all times.(translated from french)

My chest was rather "deflated" and a "tubular" type which was bothering me a lot, and although it is not possible to completely change the shape of the breasts, Dr. Lee has almost made a miracle with mine!

From the first appointment its easy to see how much this doctor truly care about his patients. He is patient (God knows how many questions I kept asking!), he is kind, good listener and very realistic. I brought pictures with me of what I wanted and he explain to me why this was not feasible. He does not try to sell a false image or set false expectation to get a clients

Few months ago, I had a breast augmentation done by Dr.Chen Lee and it turned out beautiful ! I received many compliments from people who actually thought it was real and when i told them I had implants many couldn't believe it and wanted to touch it ..

I had a breast augmentation with Dr Lee in November, and couldn't be happier with the results. I consulted one other surgeon before I visited Dr. Lee, but as soon as I met him, I knew he was the surgeon for me

I had a very pleasant experience with the staff, everyone is friendly and always welcoming . I was very lucky , after my consultation Dr.Chen Lee accommodated me and I got my surgery quickly ! I was very happy because I wasn't able to get that anywhere else!

Excellent service, whether is is his secretary or the team of nurses and the anesthesiologist and Dr. Lee himself.He takes the time necessary during the consultation and strives to inform us of everything, we do not feel pressure. Also, he is always on time and very punctual.(translated from french)
